Fast&Furious Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I love sailboats! The bigger, the better. Trouble is: they are expensive. Is there anything locally made? Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 It was a topic about such a while ago. I believe it was in this forum :) (A foreigner asked for a foreigner type of camping boat, but Pinoys normaly make a totaly other type of boats. I don't remember if anyone knew any exception.)

JJReyes Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Norcem, a company from Norway use to manufacture power and sailboats at a plant in the Subic Bay Free Port Zone. The company is gone, but I heard a Philippine group retained the trained workers to build boats for the Hong Kong and Singapore markets. So there might be one under a different corporate name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I tried the search words "Philippine Sailboat Builders" using Google. There are several manufacturing companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I thought alibaba was only for manufactorers, but I noticed some ads are second hand. It didn't show any from the Philippines, but several from Asia7 countries, so I suppose no custom fee if you buy it there. You can sail it to RP :) http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?IndexArea=product_en&SearchText=sailboat&c=CID12070301&atm=&f0=y&conti=SEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Thomas, don't assume no customs duty for used sailboats. You can, on a temporary basis, bring and use a sailboat in Philippine territorial waters. There is paperwork and possibly the posting of a bond to guarantee the sailboat's eventual departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know it's rather common - but doubtful concerning legality - when foreigners want to bring their car, when they MOVE to Thailand, Thailand have high custom fees for such, some import their car to Malaysia instead and DRIVE it over the border to Thailand.)
